"Women's ASICS® Glideride Max 2: The ASICS Glideride Max 2 is a cushioned running shoe built around a smooth, rolling ride that takes the effort out of your stride. If you tend to run easy miles or longer distances and want a shoe that keeps things comfortable from start to finish, this one is worth a close look. The rockered sole design works with your natural gait to move you through each step with less ankle flexion, so the shoe does some of the work for you.The midsole layers FF BLAST MAX foam up top for soft, responsive cushioning underfoot, while a hard-pressed EVA plate reinforces the rocker geometry and helps guide the foot through a smooth toe-off. The engineered woven upper keeps airflow moving around the foot to help manage heat and moisture on longer efforts. A HYBRID ASICSGRIP outsole - combining ASICSGRIP rubber and AHARPLUS materials - gives you reliable traction and durability on road surfaces. An EVA sock liner adds an extra layer of cushioning comfort, and a heel pull tab makes getting in and out of the shoe quick and easy. ASICS recommends sizing up a half size for the best fit.Why Our Fit Experts Love This Shoe""What I noticed right away was how the rocker geometry just moves you forward - it's not something you have to think about, it just happens. The FF BLAST MAX foam feels genuinely soft on landing, and by the end of a longer run I wasn't feeling worn down the way I sometimes do in firmer shoes. The woven upper also breathes really well, which I appreciated."" - Sawyer, Road Runner Sports Fit Expert, Wilmette ILWho It's Best ForIf you're a woman looking for a cushioned road running shoe that smooths out your stride on easy runs and longer distances, the Glideride Max 2 is a strong fit. It works especially well for runners who want a softer landing without sacrificing forward momentum, and for anyone who finds that high-mileage days leave their legs feeling beat up. The rocker sole and soft midsole foam make it a natural choice for runners who want the shoe to work with them rather than against them.
